Ok, I'm digging a hole I didn't know I was digging.

[LimpNJim]

1995 Ford Ranger 2.3L, manual

it WAS running. just going down the hwy and lose power. pushed in clutch, turn key off, let die, and back on, would run fine again. started using gas treatments which seemed to help some for a while. but continued to lose power off and on at times. but kept getting worse and worse. started dying when turning corners. replaced fuel pump and filter, worked well for a while. started losing power again. then lost clutched, nothing but shreds inside, replaced it. power loss increasing. all I could do to get it to 55. would not run well in 5th gear. slowed until top speed was 30 mph. asked a ford expert. did everything he said, checked sensors, fuel pressure, change plugs. replaced fuel filter and reset timing. now it will crank, but won't run for any length of time. any ideas???

Do you happen to have an in-tank fuel pump? Sounds exactly like what my Tempo was doing...and it would only do that in warm weather...cold weather would be fine...

There was another thread recently with similar symptoms...so you might check out the recent ones about losing power...

just changed the fuel pump last September 2010.

Doesn't mean its good because you changed it. Whats the fuel pressure?

Did you dump out the fuel tank? Drop the tank and see what's in there.
